BACKGROUND: Fungal ocular involvement can develop in patients with fungal bloodstream infections and can be vision-threatening. Ocular involvement has become less common in the current era of improved antifungal therapies. Retrospectively determining...
BACKGROUND: Pre-hospital circumstances, cardiac arrest characteristics, comorbidities and clinical status on admission are strongly associated with outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Early prediction of outcome may inform prognosis,...
PURPOSE: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious respiratory condition with high mortality and associated morbidity. The objective of this study is to develop and evaluate a novel application of gradient boosted tree models trained on...
Accurate outcome prediction in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) would allow for better treatment planning, risk adjustment of study populations, and overall improvements in patient care. In the past, prognostic models have focused on mortality using simpl...
